Standard Library Clarification

[Android User]

Hi,

Apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere - I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I'm curious as to what counts as "standard libraries". I presume that this includes (e.g.) stdio, but are libraries such as libxml also included? Also, I presume that it only includes function calls to these libraries, and not access to the library files themselves (i.e. reading the .so files), as I imagine that this isn't in the spirit of the prize (but just want to make sure). I also presume that the use of any standard libraries may be dynamically linked (rather than statically), and this doesn't count towards the size of the compressor or decompressor?

Many thanks in advance,

John

You should not depend on any shared libraries that are not part of a normal Windows or Linux distribution. If compiling from C++ then anything outside of the standard library would require a static link.
